If you're travelling with a group of people or a family, there are a range of benefits to staying in a holiday rental in Cologne rather than a hotel with separate rooms and no place to cook. You're in Germany, try the local cuisine and buy fresh produce to cook up a storm at your holiday home. Imagine not having to be concerned about waking up early enough to get to breakfast but rather getting up whenever you want to and preparing breakfast exactly how you want it. You don't have to deal with housekeeping and you'll never be too late for any meal. Another perk of renting a home or apartment instead of a hotel is having more space. Rather than having to squeeze everyone into a small hotel room or paying through the nose for a big enough room, spend a little less and gain a little more. As a foodie, you're bound to be delighted by the fact that Cologne has around 38 weekly food markets throughout the city that you can buy fresh produce from. Once a month, the Tanzbrunnen fish market on the right side of the Rhine River opens up with a selection of seafood freshly caught. The Wilhemplatz food market comes alive every day except Sunday and is a must-visit for fresh fruit and veg at unbelievable prices.
